why does my fan on my 95 contour not turn on.?

Question

I changed my coolant temperature sensor still nothing any idea why ?

if my temperature sender will my fan turn on?

if my temperature sender is unpluged will my cooling fan turn on?

Answer 1

The contour has a very high fan activation temperature. The easiest way to see if your fan works is to turn the A/C on. The fan should come on immediately. If you live in a colder climate, your Fan may never come on during the winter. From what i've seen, the fan should turn on low around the "L" in the "normal" of the coolant gauge on your dash. So if your car isnt overheating you have really nothing to worry about, especially at this time of year.

Answer 2

If you have a/c turn it own and see if it comes on.
It you have a/c and it doesn't turn on move the wires near the fan, it may by the fan or the large resistor connected to it.
If you don't have a/c or it doesn't work the fan won't come on until the guage is right on the red, hot mark.
